We are not pacifists. We are about the unity of mankind. True, we are not politically affiliated, even instructed not to discuss politics, as it is divisive; but enjoined to vote and follow the laws of a just government. Our Writings tell us that world leaders (i.e. United Nations)should rise up together to put down oppressive governments. Hope this helps...
